Tigre Espacio was designed while I was drawing the panel with the corkscrew plancha, and ended up being my favourite luchador so far. Apparently not thinking about a character design until I sit down to draw them isn’t as bad of a habit as previously thought.

Also, I announced it on the Facebook page last week, but HEAT: SUPER MAX edition is going to be out in two weeks! There will be more information on how to buy it once they’re out, but if you’re in the Edmonton area I’m going to be doing a book launch/signing at Variant Edition Comics & Culture on August 29th! If you’re in Whitehorse, YT (mathematically speaking, you are probably not), I’ll have copies for sale at Yukomicon 2015 from the 21st to the 23rd of August!

I forgot it was Monday because I fell into a colouring-induced fugue state where time and space were irrelevant. There were only layers and Photoshop shortcut commands. I have no idea how professional colourists can do that every day.

The drop down spot was really hard to figure out how to break into panels, thus joining the ranks of wrestling spots that happen all the time but turn out to be difficult to draw. Naturally, powerbombs and stuff are really easy to draw. That makes sense, right?

Next Week: Dusty Trails returns. He does not care for grammar advice. One bit.

This page is brought to you in part by British Bulldog powerslam videos on YouTube, which I used several of to get the necessary references for the Johnny Law powerslam on Dos. This page is also my favourite one since the Fatty Bomb… which actually wasn’t that long ago, although it feels like months and months since I drew it. Actually it probably has been at least two months since I drew it… anyway, I like this page is my point.

I’m looking forward to my school semester being over so that I have time to draw Grunts (aka super secret side project) AND HEAT at roughly the same pace again, as right now all of HEAT Vol. 2 is written, but I still have a ton of pages left to draw, because this match is loooooong. I mean, it’s an 8 man elimination tag team match, so I suppose that’s normal, but still, very long.

On Saturday: This time it’s definitely all over, says Johnny Law. Because obviously he’s a reliable source on those sorts of things.

Dr. Fat’s powerslam didn’t turn out quite as brutal-looking as I’d hoped, and in retrospect there should have been another panel showing Invincinator being pancaked into the mat. Although if he was pancaked, Dr. Fat may have tried to eat him, which would have gotten into the territory of that fucked up Marvel comic where The Blob eats somebody. I can’t remember what book that was, but seriously, what the shit!?

Oh, and sorry, Jay. But don’t worry, Invincinator will be back later! I’m not sure when, specifically, probably somewhere in the 130-150 page range. Dr. Fat will also be returning somewhere around then.

This weekend I’ll be participating in the 12 Hour Comic Challenge at Happy Harbor Comics. It’s like the 24 Hour Comic Challenge, but with less hallucinations. If you’re in Edmonton you should stop by and say hi, and also donate to Big Brothers & Big Sisters, which the whole thing is designed to raise money for.

Also, on March 20th I’ll be at the Edmonton Collectible Toy and Comic Show with the Open Door Comics group, which will feature the release of Hell, Inc. #2: Candied Sheep Day.

On Saturday: Los Gordinflones Negros make their return to HEAT as Dos takes on Wildman Harris in first round Super Max Challenge Cup action.
